Real Talk Thursday: Enchantment Under the SDCC

Tomorrow will mark the return of our Friday Fun Poll, but tonight, we’re kicking off our semi-irregular Real Talk Thursday, because we can and we’re drunk with power.

This week, we’re going to talk about our very own Enchantment Under the SDCC event, taking place on Wednesday, July 20 (Preview Night). We strive, every single year, to bring you the best possible event that we can with goodie bags, raffle prizes, your charming hosts (We can be charming! We swear!)… Last year, we sold tickets for the first time — a move that we made because in previous years, the line to get in was a little, um, crazy. And long. Very long.

But this year, we’re all set to head back to Henry’s Pub in the Gaslamp. It’s free to attend and open to anyone (but no food or drinks included), but we’ve heard from several of you that you’d be more interested in paying for a ticket to have a reserved spot similar to last year — and we’ve potentially found somewhere, that would include some drinks and light food for a good price, and in essentially the same area of the Gaslamp (so easily walk-able).

For those who haven’t been before, or for those who haven’t been following along with our announcements — every attendee to Enchantment Under the SDCC will receive a goodie bag full of awesome items from companies like Mattel (and a lot of items from Mattel, at that!), Oni Press, The Ninja Bot, yours truly, and many, many more. Plus, we do raffles all night for amazing giveaways, like a Hasbro FastPass (the only place you can find one!), swag from Factory Entertainment, Symbiote Studios, toddland, and much more.

So — is having a reserved spot and guaranteed access to all of that worth a price of less than $50 to you?

This poll has ended.

Yes! I would rather buy a ticket and have a guaranteed spot and goodie bag, as well as some free drinks/food

No way! I'll take my chances getting in and would rather the event stay free.
